Theme editor for RAP
Project Lead: Benjamin Muskalla (IRC: benny`work)
Mentor: Rüdiger Herrmann
This project is part of the Google Summer of Code 2010
Contents
Abstract
The theming infrastructure of RAP experienced several enhancements over the past two release cycles. Currently users of RAP have to struggle with the CSS-based theme files with a simple text editor in order to create sophisticated themes. The editor should support general features like content assist for elements, selectors and states. In addition, more advanced features as a quick outline or custom widget integration should be part of the editor.
